Livox Revolutionizes Smart Robotics with a Compact, Omnidirectional LiDAR Sensor

The Mid-360 is the first 360° stereo-sensing hybrid solid-state LiDAR, housed in a compact body to give robots full real-time vision of their surroundings.

Mid-360

Livox Tech released the Mid-360, a brand-new hybrid solid-state LiDAR sensor expanding the company's acclaimed Mid series, aimed at setting a new benchmark for low-speed mobile robots and autonomous driving. Compared with traditional 360° mechanical LiDAR units with a point cloud density of 16 or 32 lines, the Mid-360 is smaller, more cost-effective and higher-performing, offering 40 lines of density — the first mainstream hybrid solid-state LiDAR to feature an expanded 360° FOV.

Streamlined and simplified

At 6.5 × 6.5 × 6 cm, the Mid-360 is nearly 60% smaller than the Mid-70, its predecessor in the Mid series, and was the smallest 3D LiDAR on the market at launch. Most of the device can be embedded and hidden out of sight, revealing only a 4.5 × 2.5 cm hemispherical window.

Minimal blind spot and ultra-large FOV

The Mid-360's full-range horizontal FOV is complemented by a 59° vertical FOV, a maximum detection range of 70 m and a minimum detection range of just 10 cm — combining omnidirectional coverage, long range and nearly zero blind spots for low-speed robots and autonomous driving.

Dual anti-interference for peace of mind

The Mid-360's anti-interference design lets it operate stably without disruption from multiple LiDAR signals, even indoors, and it resists up to 100 kilolux of direct sunlight for consistent indoor or outdoor performance.
